I started a new series on Story Time With Finux, this one is about Tudor Britain and their impact on state surveillance. Part 1, Henry VII secured his weak claim to the throne by building a surveillance state, using law, money, & propaganda to control the nobility. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeGA...

Kenny Veach taught me that people will build communities around absolutely anything

fucking knew it, i've been saying this for ages. I bloody knew it wasn't that i was getting older. I mean i am, but that's not the reason. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hksV...

It's interesting King Charles prayed with Pope Leo, first time a English monarch has done that in over 500 years. Believe it or not, I actually cover how this happened. Pope Leo excommunicated Henry VIII and another Pope Leo prayed with Charles II.

AND episode 2 part 1 is out As boring as it sounds, and it isn't, but the European reformation was an incredibly defining period that leaned heavily on modern technology of the time. Some of those same technologies bleed over into the notion of privacy. I have an Episode planned on Privacy soon.

oh who would have thunk that thumbnails would become such a ghastly affair

ADHD rabbit holes are a wild ride, especially when your passenger princess is YouTube’s algorithm. “Oh babe, you know you liked a downhill long-boarding video, let’s binge” Now I’m a downhill longboarding fan

Welcome to the future, Ring and Signal affected by the same outage.

I’ve been watching a lot of downhill long boarding videos at the moment (don’t ask, ADHD rabbit hole). These people are legit crazy.

So that's my first ever YouTube series done. Next one should be fun, I hope so anyway.

Oh that is a sweet feature... Having been on the receiving end of someone not following you and being notified about you, i like this

Hear me out, why don't we give the noble peace prize to dogs. I mean given how awesome they are, and how they tend to make a lot of people happy and bring peace and love into the world. I don't think there is a human that can compete with a wee stray dog coming to visit you

If you think you've had some bad luck spare a moment of thought for Nagasaki. Find out how a bad weather day changed one city's luck and condemned another

Yo, I’ve just heard that a poor sense of direction is a symptom of autism spectrum disorder (Asperger). Probably not the best time to point out my poor sense of direction being pretty legendary

Why he DM’ing bondi on X? Does he not have Signal? Should ask Pete to help him

I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but it’s about time I work on the next script. That is very little turnaround. I hope I can get my processes streamlined.

didn't even notice, next episode drops on the 10th, of this month (October) at 10 am so it's 10 10 10 right!

New video, Decrypting TLS traffic in Wireshark. How to extract TLS keys from Burp, ZAP, and curl and then import them into Wireshark to see the raw traffic. youtu.be/bSt6E48mGuc

All 4 recordings have now been done for Ep2 and I’ve finished the retake I needed to do for Ep1pt3. Yay.

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

Oh shit. Robert Murray-Smith is dead. He was a wonderful YouTuber, tinkerer and inventor. I learned a lot from him. Such sad news.

if i have to say to camera one more time today; "Act II, Two queens, one throne" i'm going to fucking scream so loud, Mary Stuart is going to wake up

As dyslexic teen who couldn't really read very well at the age of 14, Terry Pratchett helped me to get a reading age of 21 by the time I was 15. If it wasn't for the discworld novels, i have no idea where i would be today

If you are so interested, here is the first part of the first ever episode of Story Time With Finux. youtu.be/MidVfNmSxjU #History #ManhattanProject #Documentary #ColdWar #Espionage

Do you know how big 15'000 tons is! It's nearly 1.5 Eiffel Towers. 15'000 tons of silver in today's market would be $22.425 billion USD. Bet you didn't know they used it to make atomic weapons though, did you ;)

le sigh, recording is the new report writing

Woke up this morning and for some reason had some old school Skepta & Wiley tune playing in my head. Enjoy music.youtube.com/watch?v=EcWH...

He doesn’t half make an entire band out of an acoustic guitar. Amazing. music.youtube.com/watch?v=1S67...

This is probably one of the Rory Gallagher tracks that got me into him, it ain’t even Rory it’s his band Taste. They broke up after the gig this was recorded at. music.youtube.com/watch?v=Myt4...

Can’t believe the Irish tried a version of UBI, found it worked, and decided to keep it rather than commission another study.

Still one of the greatest players ever to do it. Rest well Rory music.youtube.com/watch?v=48Vs...

Discord confirms that government IDs used for age-verification were compromised in a hack with a vendor. Who could have predicted? Oh, right.

Also backdooring secure messengers is a bit like adding journalists to your war crimes chat group

This happens to me when i try and think about quantum mechanics! All i know is stop watching it, you're somehow effecting it

History has taught me many lessons, but the biggest is that governments regulate other people's behaviours because they can't regulate themselves. Ask yourself, do chat messengers make terrorists or does foreign policy make them? I'm pretty sure Moxie has done less damage to the world than Kissinger

📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU. Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.

Couple moved in next door. Old bloke lived there before had a beautiful garden. He spent every day in it. New guy ripped out everything & put fake grass in. So I've planted trees next to the boundary that will fill his lawn with dead leaves in the autumn. This one's for you Alf

now somehow i have managed to record 2 parts of the 4 part episode, even though i'm not getting any dopamine rewards today... Shall i chance my mitt and try and get part 3 recorded before i go to bed, or try to record two tomorrow. Choices, choices, choices

If you haven't guessed episode 2 is being recorded ;)
